Abstract:

"Storytelling in the Digital World" explores new, emerging narrative practices
as they are enacted on digital platforms such as Amazon, Facebook, Twitter,
and YouTube. Contributors’ online ethnographies investigate a wide range of
themes including the nature of processes of transformation and
recontextualization of offline events into digital narratives; the effects of
digital anonymity and pseudonymity on narrative practices; the strategies
through which virtual communities discursively work together to solidify and
negotiate their sociocultural identities; the tensions between the affordances
that characterize different online media and the communicative needs of users;
the structures and modes in which virtual users construct and enact
participatory practices in these environments; and the significance of
different spatiotemporal dimensions in the encoding, sharing and appreciation
of stories. More generally, the volume engages with some of the theoretical
and methodological challenges that the growing presence of digital
technologies and media poses to narrative analysis.
